I received a web-based text message initially about a car I had for sale informing me that I should reply to the email address in the text. Next I received the following email which had me a bit suspicious so I googled the email address and ended up on this site where I saw a similar story to mine so I thought I better help out and stop this guy.
Scam Emailthanks for getting back to me,i'm okay with the price as its within my budget likewise the condition as described on the advert,i work as a marine engineer and currently on a repair of a big construction work offshore which will take a pretty long time.We do not have access to phone at the moment due to the current status of the job. Doing the supervising and checking of each section of the construction. and that's why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.Regarding the payment,i will be paying you through PayPal linked up with my westpac bank account,please get back to me with your paypal details so i can process the payment,you can alternatively send your bsb acct name and number if you have no PayPal acct.I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up and deliver it to my place in Darwin after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct.
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
